My hopes are high but my eyes can't Believe what they see, Give me something to believe, Gime me something to believe, I got lucky in life and had plenty to eat and I saw this world as one big pool of opportunity But there's too much mind corruption, Too littleremedy (or that's how it seems to me) Yeah we need a moral education to Set the young minds free...
So let us change what we can and Accept what we can't Impart some of the wisdom From that tried and tested man There'no harm in being wrong you know no, In fact to me, it's common ground - yeah So take that feather from you cap sir, And pass that feather around...
My hopes are high but my eyes can't Believe what they see, Give me something to believe in, Gime me something to believe, My hopes are high but my eyes can't Believe what they see My hopes are high Give me something, Give me something to believe Send "High Hopes" Ringtone to your Cell

it is realism replacing surrealism. the mirror does not lie. there was a golden age, that did not last very long. ah the division bell. that where some of us, view others of us to not be us, rather, other than us, and that aspect of us, must depart from, us that see see us as less than us, but would rather project that that on those, who we set apart from us, rather than admit it was and still remains only us, only older, sadder, that we did not try harder to love all of us, as we would have them all love us one and all.

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun
Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
Do they still meet there by the Cut
There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The night of wonder
Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many times
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river
